Understanding Gum Disease and Its Causes
Gum disease, also known as gingivitis or periodontitis, is caused by a buildup of plaque and bacteria along the gumline. When left untreated, it can progress from mild inflammation to severe infection, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved daily care. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) requires deeper cleaning and ongoing maintenance.
Signs of gum disease may include:
- Blood/bleeding when flossing or brushing
- Swollen, red, or sore gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or loose teeth
- Changes in the way your teeth fit together
Our team encourages early intervention through regular Dental Examinations and Hygienist Treatments, which are key to preventing gum problems before they become serious.
Our Approach to Treating Gum Disease
At Iconic Dent, we combine gentle techniques with advanced care to manage gum disease at every stage. Our dentists take time to explain your diagnosis, treatment options, and aftercare plan so you feel confident and informed throughout.
Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a full Dental Examination to assess the health of your gums and measure any areas of inflammation or infection.
Professional Cleaning
Our hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup using scaling and polishing techniques to improve gum health.
Deep Cleaning (Root Surface Debridement)
For advanced cases, we clean below the gumline to eliminate bacteria and prevent further damage.
Personalised Home Care Advice
You’ll receive tailored guidance on brushing, flossing, and oral hygiene products to use at home.
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular check-ups help track your progress and maintain long-term gum health.
We aim to make every treatment as comfortable and stress-free as possible, using gentle methods and a patient-first approach.

Gum Disease Treatment FAQ’s
What causes gum disease?
Gum disease is usually caused by plaque buildup on the teeth and gums. If not removed through daily brushing and professional cleaning, bacteria in plaque can lead to gum irritation, inflammation, and infection.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Yes, the early stage of gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible with professional cleaning and good oral hygiene at home. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be managed and stabilised with deeper cleaning and regular dental visits.
Does gum disease treatment hurt?
No. Treatment is carried out gently under local anaesthetic if needed. Our dentists and hygienists focus on your comfort and use modern techniques to ensure the experience is pain-free and relaxed.
How can I prevent gum disease from returning?
Regular Hygienist Treatments, thorough brushing and flossing, and avoiding smoking are the best ways to maintain gum health. Our team will create a personalised care plan to help you prevent recurrence.
What happens if I don’t treat gum disease?
Untreated gum disease can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, loose teeth, and eventual tooth loss. It may also increase the risk of other health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. Early treatment is the key to prevention.
